Hi all.
I bought this system for other parts, but found the dead board is the rare AMD GPU version, so would be great to get it working again
I have unplugged everything, CPU, RAM daughterboard, the lot. Upon plugging in AC, the adapter immediately shorts. The system also seems to short a charged battery - no signs of life or voltages on any pin. There are no signs of water damage or any obviously fried components, and the short does not appear to be present when there is no attempt to plug in AC.
Any idea where to start with this one? I believe this should be the schematic? http://www.s-manuals.com/motherboard/compal_la-8241p
Thanks!
EDIT: I'll try and get some hi-res pics of the board up too if my camera plays nicely.
